Fer cryin out loud...

Just because there’s no section in the bill called

Title IIV - Death Panels, and the Establishemnt Thereof

doesn’t mean the concept isn’t going to be implemented.

How juvenile and stupid are these people? Oops, never mind, don’t answer that...

[SueRae]

I should have read your post before I added mine. my sentiments exactly.

[fhayek]

Can predictions be lies? Maybe so. Sarah said that there will be death panels. We will see. Obama said that Obamacare will reduce the deficit. We will see about that also. I'm not Nostradamus, but I would bet with Sarah and against Barack.

[MamaDearest]

But the website PolitiFact.com found that there were never any plans to introduce so called "death panels

Mr. Adair no doubt has connections and $$$ to avoid being cut off from receiving medical care after he reaches a certain stage in life. The rest of will be subject to people (board or not) determining if we are worthy to continue living and receiving medical attention. PolitiFact cannot possibly be knowledgeable about the future that hasn't yet arrived. We know what we face because Obama himself told us in a speech what he intends to do. If PolitiFact has access to the full healthcare bill, as passed by the Senate, they should post it on their website - just saying!

"Go Sarah!!"

Good timing for The Telegraph. We can thank them for resurrecting an important topic.

Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have said similar things on the eves of their taking office.

I’d love to see a “reporter” ask the next Democrat to take the reins of a big office, “Do you promise to run the most ethical, open, etc., etc.?” And if they answer, “Of course!” the crowd should just roar in hysterical laughter for a good five minutes.

[hinckley buzzard]

Of course she was right. Figuratively. The anonymous bureaucrats who will play "eenie meenie miney moe, you shall live and you shall go" will never actually face any of their victims. It doesn't work that way. And, they will not be called "death panel" but have benign titles, like "Community Health Advisory Board," or some such dreck. But yes, death panels there will certainly be.

[excopconservative]

Based on the way they are passing the Senate bill, I don’t doubt that your political party affiliation won’t also be a factor in the care decision. After all, why do they need all these Republicans prolonging their lives?

If I were a republican and in charge of campaigning I'd make sure that Pelosi statement were part of every Congressional campaign. If republicans were intelligent they'd hang the democrats lies around their necks and never let the public forget what fascists and liars they are.

[prairiebreeze]

Politifact? The left wouldn’t know an accurate or true fact if it ran straight up their rear end.

Palin is correct, what’s more, people came to the same conclusion themselves. Go SARAH!

"I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal."

I'll vote for this, possibly the largest steaming pile of narcissistic horse crap ever uttered by an American politician.

“This leadership team will create the most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress in history” – Speaker-Elect Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Press Release, November 16, 2006

Here's another one...

[Scotsman will be Free]

“When all is said and done you have better be ready to eat some crow...”
No, they’d better be ready to eat some lead.

[Cobra64]

Well, most Republicans are not defending our Constitution either. They should be pounding on Pelosi, Reid, and Obama non-stop.

Instead, they just sit back and let this happen.

I include this with every GOP and RNC poll.

[Jagdgewehr]

Gosh! Maybe PolitiFact.com should turn their attention to Hussein and his horde miscreants. Funny how the laser glare of scrutiny goes only one direction.

[Tzimisce]

Well, if you want to get technical the Global Warming lie was first stated in 1988....

[incredulous joe]

UK Telegraph?

Bwahahahaha!

[onedoug]

DEATH PANELS

[FrankR]

Sarah didn't say the bill listed it as "Death Panels", but the logical interpretation of the intent is the same.

Is one of the Alinsky rules, "If it is the truth and it bites you in the ass, call it a lie."?
